Bike parts you hate.

There're plenty of valid reasons for riding a conversion.
Size
Price
Comfort
The ability to add mudguards, racks etc
How easy old road frames are to find all over he world
They don't all need to look or ride bad either, just look at SadR's!

hehe.

I walk past NJS and pick up a conversion every ride because it is better suited to the riding I do (on the road).
